Funny to see you here Nolc, i played against you last game and all you did was complain every minute, about the imbalanced game and AI. Your reg + rook combo vs 2 UB's... you should have beaten us in the first place. Instead i got a whining and complaining every minute and a "fuck off asswipe" when i said "gg" at the end, very nice.

A visual banlist like from Dota eh? Without being offensive, I won't contribute, but I wish you the best of luck. Besides, I'd probably be doing more posting of pictures than playing if I did with the way the online populace usually is.

"Use a shotgun and you're a shotgun whore. Use a knife, and you're a knife whore. Use a pistol, and you're a pistol whore. Use a rocket launcher, and you're a rocket launcher whore. It doesn't matter if you use a different weapon for each kill. When they finally kill you, you're a noob who needs to L2P and then go kill yourself. As common as this is, am I the only one getting a headache from trying to think how people like this exist? It's just a game.."

People like this happen more often than you think, heh. Most of WoW's playerbase are people like that..

Well, I suppose that blows the OP's complaints out of the water, assuming these allegations are true.

Also, online play like this always brings along with it it share of whiners, rage quitters, elitists, etc. That's just the nature of the game. In the couple games I've played, I didn't have much of a problem with either my teammates or my opponents.

If this is possible, then the flaw is either with the game design or your inability to come up with a strategy to clinch the game in your favor, not with the players that are camping. As long as the Citadel is up, and the players on the defensive are able to rack up kills, it could be possible to get enough gold to upgrade things to a high enough extent to turn the game around.

Dedicated Servers don't have proper control over cheaters either. Believe me, VAC didn't help. Some Anti-Cheat Scripts created more problems then it was worth. Punkbuster used to think my Teamspeak Overlay was a hack. After admining for CS:S, dedicated has ZERO control of cheaters. Some might catch the starting one, but if you know what you are doing, only a good eye can see those.

"There is no point camping at your base at the crystal making a 15 minute game last 45."

I disagree with this, i had a 2v3 match the other day where me and my teammate got capped in are base for 30m before we finaly pushed back enough and end up wining the game, so no i will never give up and just let someone win you want to win you earn it.

but i always say gg if i win or lose.

But OP is right, had a game vrs a guy whining the whole game i was exploiting because i killed the AI leaders when they tried capping my flags and killing my towers.

I mean he ran from me everytime so what i am to sit in my base then for his AI to win him the game?

Ok i may have come off wrong, i meant situations where its impossible to recover from. Such as the game where the other team has all the flags but 2 in a large map, has fully or close to upgraded reinforcements. No way can my team recover from the onslaught of giants, catapults and their well equipped demigods. Some players camp at the crystal instead of trying alternative routes to get flags etc. This is even worse in slaughter game type.

You can lie now but i'll screenshot it next time.

No there are the same, i didnt know at the time but you can play skirmish and customize the game the same way as custom games.

Well noob bashing is like a right of passage, it comes with every game and i've had my fair share of bashing and a few dishing as well

But as a community we can really do without the constant complaining about game imbalances and how much teammates suck. I NEVER heard a complaint from a side that was winning. The imbalances suddenly disapper when you are winning it seems

pls screenshot it next time so everyone can see you breaking your own rules

I dont know about you guys but Ive had many games turn around... especially on that small 2v2 map where one team pushes us back to our 2nd to last flag the last gold one.... buying time allowed us to upgrade and turn the tide around. Mostly because they had stronger starting DGs and I needed time to get mine up to full strength... We offset their flags by upgradingo our citadel and bogging down a bit.

i have a story about a type of player that ruins games.  i had an oak on my team in a 3v3 skirmish and i was regulus.  he kept going in by himself and dying.  he did this until he was 1-15 or something.  my other partner told him to stop dying and play more carefully by not going in alone.  i told the oak to either spend his gold on our citadel upgrades or, better, buy HP and armor items (he had less HP than me).  neither of us made fun of him really or said he was bad, just tried to give him direction.  what did he do?  he called us "whiners" and quit right after dying for a final time.  the result?  we got a bot that died less, but we also were dealing with an extremely fed enemy team that had better grunts, better items, and more levels.
